Tales from the QA crypt
summary
Demonstrates that writing tests in JavaScript and Cypress (npm install), runs headless or in browser replaces slow manual checks (an email field has ~13 cases that take 2–3 minutes to type). Shows a working to‑do app, end‑to‑end tests and 11 tests in ~15s, exit code 0 running in CI. Describes environment parity with Docker + docker‑compose for nginx/CI, how tests live in the same branch, and the claim that shifting tests left prevents merge hell and lost context.
